This is not a teaching position. This is about motivation.
The most meaningful support you can offer a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to settle. If that expectation makes you hesitate, this role isn't for you. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards is how you demonstrate belief in a student's potential, read on.
At Alpha, academic learning happens through AI-driven applications. No classroom lectures. No printed textbooks. You'll spend half your day facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions covering public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback. The other half, you'll work individually or in small groups with students, analyze their Coachbot data, and drive each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app objectives. You won't follow a rigid script — workshop frameworks are your foundation, but top performers customize them and create new content when gaps emerge.
A successful quarter means every student in your cohort completes their weekly app targets, passes the Test2Pass for all life-skills workshops, and 90%+ report that they love you. Fall short on any of these three metrics and you've missed the mark. Your first year focuses on mastering the system; once you demonstrate you can uphold standards, advancement to Lead Guide becomes available, where you'll mentor new hires while continuing direct student work.
If you prefer conventional teaching methods, need curriculum delivered to you, or view warmth and rigor as incompatible, look elsewhere. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp counseling, tutoring where you refused to let students give up, or performance work that could captivate a room of eight-year-olds, your final step before an offer is a full on-campus day coaching actual Alpha students. If that prospect excites you most, submit your application now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups covering public speaking, focus, feedback, and other foundational competencies, modifying the existing framework and creating new material when you identify needs
- Conducting daily individual and small-group motivation sessions that drive every student to 100% completion of their weekly app objectives, leveraging Coachbot analytics, Alpha's incentive structures (campus currency, leaderboards), and your individual relationships to overcome resistance
- Delivering the Test2Pass (Alpha's mastery-based evaluation) for each life skill, and working with students who don't succeed until they achieve mastery
- Adjusting your approach across a broad age spectrum, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to 8th graders needing direct conversation and accountability
- Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students trust; warmth creates the foundation for challenge, and challenge demonstrates your confidence in their capabilities
What you will NOT be doing
- Delivering whiteboard instruction; academic content is embedded in the applications, not your responsibility
- Building curriculum from the ground up; you'll activate an established playbook through energy and narrative
- Passively monitoring students at workstations; motivation in this role is engaged, individualized, and persistent
- Reducing a weekly target to help a student reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution is supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
- Evaluating homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage family communication, and the other tasks don't exist in this model
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your K-8 cohort completes their weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year reporting they loved you.
Candidate requirements
- Available to work on-site at an Alpha campus in Scottsdale (Phoenix), AZ; Denver, CO; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT - we offer relocation assistance
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- Minimum 3 years of direct experience working with K-8 students (classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp leadership, or youth program management)
- A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective itself, your actions, and the result
- Comfort allowing AI to manage instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Authorization to work in the US without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto campus)
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp direction, theater, or after-school programming where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined outcomes
- Demonstrated record of high personal achievement (academic, athletic, or career-based), indicating that holding others to rigorous standards is inherent to who you are, not adopted for the role
- Narrative ability and commanding presence sufficient to engage a room of 12-year-olds for an hour without volume escalation
- Proven success converting disengaged or reluctant students into committed participants
